Dandelion Acrylic Painting Tutorial - By Artist, Andrea Kirk

Who doesn’t love walking through a beautiful field of dandelions, picking them one-by-one, and blowing the seeds into the wind? Even as an adult, I still can’t resist! I wanted to capture that in painting form.
I was contacted by the art supply company “Hippie Crafter”, who sent me amazing supplies for my project. I chose their smooth textured black canvas, and rich, creamy acrylic paints. I can honestly say that I’ve never enjoyed using acrylics more. These are truly the best quality!! I was able to paint the finest detail of the dandelion seeds effortlessly.
If you’d like to try my project, no problem. You can easily follow along with my step-by-step instruction. I’ve listed the art supplies below for your convenience. Be sure to like and subscribe. Enjoy!!
